The Heathen Apostles take a central core of faithful Americana and murder ballad arrangements and give things a slightly stylish, faintly gothic twist. “Albatross” is a one-track single and while their discography has several remixes and electronica elements in it, this is a straight-up three-minute 3 / 4 song featuring slightly Chrissie Hynde-like vocals over a folksy arrangement of violins and mandolins that would appeal to staunch Levellers fans. Accompanied by a music video where great costumes and thoughtful storytelling are let down by wobbly camerawork, this is a neat little introduction to the band, but as a regular ChainDLK reader I’d certainly want to know more about their remixes than their originals.
